"agoraphobic nosebleed", oh dear.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

It was on tigerdirect, I imagine it was a mistake but it was at 95% off. The product page for the 1TB version now just links you back to the homepage, so I guess it was something to do with the individual product page?

Just waiting to see if they honour it now :))

Homage to NY, growing up, independence, Gen Y issues. Masterful acting performance from the lead (Greta Gerwig) plus excellent cinematography and editing.

The plot is pretty minimal, it's just about a girl trying to figure out what she's going to do w/ her life.

I adopted a Rescue kitten last weekend.

He is blind in one eye and is very tiny for his age.

But it makes me happy to watch him run around the house. even though his depth perception sucks and always falls off stuff.
